Asking what the 'British' in the BBC's name means today?

Invading America

Beware, patriots of all hues, you have good reason to be fearful.
Like the classic sci-fi movie "The Invasion of the Body-Snatchers," the
infecting of America's national psyche has already begun but almost
nobody has noticed.

Since its inauguration in 1998, the cable channel BBC America has
grown such that by July 2004 it was available in 40 million U.S. homes,
and it's growing further. In January 2006 the BBC announced a deal with
Discovery to bring its 24-hour news channel, BBC World News, to every
American home.
